Keshoji Naik (also spelled as Keshooji Nayak) is a fictional Indian dacoit and hero in the book “The Exploits of the Kesho Naik: The Dacoit and Sepoy”, published by Edwin Charles Cox in 1912,[1][2] who challenges and breaks down the British Indian government in Maharashtra. In the book, he is called the Robin Hood of Bombay by British officials of the Bombay Presidency during the British Raj in India because of his heroic activity, such as plundering the rich people and distributing it to the poor souls of Maharashtra. Kesho Naik robs the gold train which is on its way from mines of Mysore to Bombay because the gold is being sent to London for English Sahibs from India.[3] Eventually, Kesho Naik is caught by British troops, tried in bombay court, and sentenced to imprisonment to Cellular jail on Andman island.[3]
